15 of the most appallingly posh baby names from newspaper ‘births’ columns
When it comes to baby names it seems that the posher you are the greater the need to call your offspring something completely and utterly ridiculous. Perhaps unsurprisingly most of these announcements are not from The Daily Star, but from The Telegraph.
Many thanks to Harry Wallop on Twitter who brought most of these to our attention.
